@Time-based posting: From what I can tell, Freezy, your idea of RPing so many days to get a product at the end is very similar to Toxie's idea. o 3o I do like the general idea, though, and it fits well with the original concept of leveling your pets to get better items and thus a higher pay-off.
@Crops: Personally, I think I'd rather keep the farms connected to pets, for a few reasons. First off, the pets are the main focus of the site. Having an activity that doesn't have much (if anything) to do with them seems a bit odd, to me, and I think that if we keep the farms connected to the pets, it would give people another option for doing something with their pets (aside from normal RPs and battles). Second, I think that keeping it pet-related gives people a better connection with the activity. That's not to say that it wouldn't be a nice chance to RP a farmer character, but I'm sure that some people would have more of an interest in posting every day if they were playing with their Yingshees or Hollowhearts and training them instead of just watering their carrots or tomatoes for a week. The third reason... well, we already have all the pretty pet-related item images. I don't want them to go to waste. o ^o; It'stotallyavalidreasonshhh.
Not to say that maybe we couldn't do other items like carrots or corn in the future, if other people were interested, but I think that at least for starting the farm up again, I'd rather keep it pet-related. o ^o
@Item uses: I had actually wanted to do this with the old farm, but it never came to fruition (for instance, if you collected enough feathers, you could then 'make' a plush toy, or using scales to create a shield). Using the items for stat bonuses could actually be interesting (I know there's been talk of making books to do that, but maybe this could either replace/supplement that idea?). As for potion brewing... I'm not sure about doing that to create breeding-related potions. I'd wait to see what Draiz/Shrewdie/possibly even Baal thinks about that.
But yes, if we can figure out what items could be made with/bonuses could be given from farm items, that'd be good~
@More posts = more KS: I'm... not entirely sure what you mean by that, Jackie. o ^o Technically, if you write enough posts to get to the next 'level' of item, you'd be getting more KS. ...Not to mention that you'd still be getting your 3KS per post, so the more posts you write, the more KS you get anyway.
...As an aside. I still have records of what items people owned as of May 17th, 2010, so you could get all those items back. P=
